Upper Body: It is suggested to wear breathable and quick-dry T-shirts of light colors since they absorb less heat under sunshine. It would be better if they are made of cooler materials like linen and chiffon. Sunscreen coats or sleeves are indispensable to prevent strong sunlight; thin shirts and long-sleeved T-shirts not only work as alternatives for sun protection, but also keep you warm in the early morning and late evening. You also need to bring thicker outer layer such as trench coats, leather coats, windbreaker for colder mountain areas or rainy days.
Lower Body: For suburban natural attractions, you had better wear summer trousers like thin sweatpants or lightweight jeans in case that your legs are bite by insects or cut by grass on the steppes. For urban tours, dress or shorts are good choices.
Shoes: Any breathable and anti-slippery shoes are suitable and sport shoes are most recommended. You can pack waterproof shoe covers to deal with rainy weather.
Others: Sunhats, sunscreen cream, sunglasses and other sun protection items are essential to ensure a pleasant trip. As the mosquitoes become increasingly rampant in Inner Mongolia in June, you should pack relevant repellent sprays or pastes.
